Part I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. —Financial Statements
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation (the Company) as of June 30, 2008, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation as of September 30, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein) and in our report dated November 23, 2007, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three-Month and Nine-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which are all of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.
Reclassifications:
The revenue caption formerly known as “Money market and other mutual fund fees” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income has been renamed “Investment product fees” and now also includes certain other asset-based fee revenues. Other asset-based fee revenues of approximately $1.4 million and $3.5 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, have been reclassified to investment product fees from other revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Approximately $1.3 million and $5.1 million of transaction-based revenues for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, have been reclassified to commissions and transaction fees from other revenues in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Each of these reclassifications was made in order to conform to the current financial statement presentation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements:
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN No. 48”), which became effective for the Company on October 1, 2007. FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement approach for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when there is uncertainty about whether that tax position will ultimately be sustained. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48 was a $4.2 million reduction to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of October 1, 2007. For additional information regarding the adoption of FIN No. 48, see Note 5 — Income Taxes.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND ACQUIRED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
On May 24, 2007, the Company and Fiserv, Inc. (“Fiserv”) entered into a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company agreed to purchase a portion of Fiserv’s investment support services business by acquiring all of the outstanding capital stock of Fiserv Trust Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiserv. Under the stock purchase agreement, the initial purchase price payable at closing was $225 million in cash plus Fiserv Trust Company’s regulatory capital, subject to pre- and post-closing adjustments. An additional earn-out payment of up to $100 million in cash could be payable following the first anniversary of the acquisition based on the achievement of revenue targets. The Company completed the transaction on February 4, 2008 for $272.6 million in cash, consisting of the $225 million initial purchase price plus $47.6 million for regulatory capital. At the closing, the Company and Fiserv entered into transition services agreements under which Fiserv agreed to service client accounts for up to six months (subject to extension) and to be compensated based on revenue earned during the term of the transition services agreements. The term of the transition services agreements has been extended for an additional 30 days. Fiserv has agreed not to compete with the acquired business for three years, subject to certain exceptions. Each party’s indemnification obligations are generally limited to losses in excess of $3 million and less than $50 million. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations for Fiserv Trust Company beginning February 5, 2008.

(1)   Purchase accounting adjustments primarily consist of $5.6 million of net adjustments to accruals for uncertain tax positions relating to the acquisition of TD Waterhouse Group, Inc. (“TD Waterhouse”) in fiscal 2006 and the merger with Datek Online Holdings Corp. (“Datek”) in fiscal 2002 and $0.6 million of adjustments to liabilities related to the acquisition of Fiserv Trust Company in fiscal 2008, partially offset by an adjustment of $2.2 million (net of income taxes) decreasing exit liabilities related to the acquisition of TD Waterhouse.
 
(2)   Represents the tax benefit of exercises of replacement stock options that were issued in connection with the Datek merger. The tax benefit of an option exercise is recorded as a reduction of goodwill to the extent the Company recorded fair value of the replacement option in the purchase accounting. To the extent any gain realized on an option exercise exceeds the fair value of the replacement option recorded in the purchase accounting, the tax benefit on the excess is recorded as additional paid-in capital.

The exit liabilities primarily relate to the acquisition of TD Waterhouse. The adjustments to acquisition occupancy and equipment exit liabilities adjusted the amount of goodwill recorded. There were no adjustments included in the determination of net income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30, 2008. Acquisition employee compensation liabilities are expected to be paid over contractual periods ending in fiscal 2013. Remaining acquisition occupancy and equipment exit liabilities are expected to be utilized over the related lease periods through fiscal 2016.
5. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was 35.8%, compared to 38.4% for the nine months ended June 30, 2007. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was lower due to $7.2 million of favorable resolutions of state income tax matters and $11.1 million of adjustments to current and deferred income taxes resulting from a revision to estimated state income tax expense. The revision was based on the Company’s actual state income tax returns filed for calendar year 2006 and similar adjustments applied to estimated state income tax rates for 2007 and future years. These items favorably impacted the Company’s earnings for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 by approximately $0.03 per share.
Effective October 1, 2007, the Company adopted FIN No. 48. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48 was a $4.2 million reduction to the beginning balance of retained earnings as of October 1, 2007. The total amount of gross unrecognized tax benefits as of October 1, 2007 was $135.1 million ($89.6 million net of the federal benefit on state matters). Of the unrecognized tax benefits, $73.3 million (net of the federal benefit on state matters) represents the amount that, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective income tax rate in future periods.
The Company’s income tax returns are subject to review and examination by federal, state and local taxing authorities. The federal returns for 2004 through 2006 remain open under the statute of limitations and subject to examination. The years open to examination by state and local government authorities vary by jurisdiction, but the statute of limitations is generally three to four years from the date the tax return is filed. It is reasonably possible that the gross unrecognized tax benefits as of October 1, 2007 could decrease by up to $37.1 million by September 30, 2008, as a result of settlements of certain examinations or expiration of the statute of limitations with respect to other tax filings.
The Company’s continuing policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters as part of the provision for income taxes in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Upon the adoption of FIN No. 48 on October 1, 2007, the Company had accrued $18.1 million for potential interest and penalties on income tax matters.
6. CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
The Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to the SEC Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), which requires the maintenance of minimum net capital, as defined. Net capital is calculated for each broker-dealer subsidiary individually. Excess net capital of one broker-dealer subsidiary may not be used to offset a net capital deficiency of another broker-dealer subsidiary. Net capital and the related net capital requirement may fluctuate on a daily basis.
Net capital and net capital requirements for the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries are summarized in the following table as of the dates indicated (dollars in thousands):

TD AMERITRADE Clearing, Inc. (“TDA Clearing”) is a clearing broker-dealer and TD AMERITRADE, Inc. (“TDA Inc.”) is an introducing broker-dealer.
The Company’s trust company subsidiary, Fiserv Trust Company, is subject to capital requirements administered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). As a condition to its approval of the Company’s acquisition of Fiserv Trust Company, FDIC requires Fiserv Trust Company to maintain a Tier 1 capital to average assets leverage ratio, as defined, of not less than 8%. The Company’s non-depository trust company subsidiary, TD AMERITRADE Trust Company (formerly known as International Clearing Trust Company), is subject to capital requirements established by the State of Maine, which requires

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Spam Litigation — A purported class action, captioned Elvey v. TD Ameritrade, Inc., was filed on May 31, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that TDA Inc. disclosed, inadvertently or intentionally, the e-mail addresses of account holders to spammers, who then sent the account holders e-mail solicitations promoting certain stocks. The complaint includes claims of alleged violations of California and federal statutes and alleged breach of fiduciary duty and requests injunctive and other equitable relief and damages. As disclosed in a press release dated September 14, 2007, the Company discovered and eliminated unauthorized code from its systems that allowed access to an internal database. The discovery was made as the result of an internal investigation of stock-related spam. The Company hired an independent consultant to investigate whether identity theft occurred as a result of the breach. The consultant conducted four investigations over the last 12 months and reports that it continues to find no evidence of identity theft. A second lawsuit, captioned Zigler v. TD Ameritrade, Inc., was filed on September 26, 2007, in the same jurisdiction on behalf of a purported nationwide class of account holders. The factual allegations of the complaint and the relief sought are substantially the same as those in the first lawsuit.
The parties entered into an agreement to settle the lawsuits on a class basis subject to court approval. The cases were consolidated under the caption In re TD Ameritrade Accountholders Litigation. A hearing on a motion requesting preliminary approval of the proposed settlement was held on June 12, 2008. At the hearing, one of the three plaintiffs objected to the proposed settlement. The Court entered an order denying the motion for preliminary approval without prejudice and directed the parties to provide supplemental information to assist the Court in evaluating the proposed settlement. On July 10, 2008, TDA Inc. and two of the plaintiffs provided supplemental information in response to the Court’s direction and in further support of the proposed settlement. The Court has scheduled a case conference for September 15, 2008.
Auction Rate Securities Matters — Beginning in March 2008, lawsuits were filed against various financial services firms by customers related to their investments in auction rate securities (“ARS”). The plaintiffs in these lawsuits allege that the defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions in statements to customers about investments in ARS and the manner in which the ARS market functioned in violation of provisions of the federal securities laws. Two purported class

12


Table of Contents

action complaints have been filed alleging such conduct with respect to TDA Inc. and TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation. The first case, filed on March 19, 2008, is captioned Humphrys v. TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. et al. The second case, filed on April 17, 2008, is captioned Silverstein v. TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. et al. Both complaints were filed on behalf of customers who purchased ARS between March 19, 2003 and February 13, 2008. The complaints seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, injunctive relief, interest and attorneys’ fees. Both cases are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. A motion has been filed by some plaintiffs requesting that the proceedings in the lawsuits against the various financial services firms in effect be consolidated before one judge. The Company and defendants and several plaintiffs in other cases have filed oppositions to the motion. The Company has asserted in its opposition that it is in a significantly different position than a number of other financial services firms because the Company did not act as an underwriter of ARS, did not act as a manager of any auctions and did not act as a market maker for ARS. The motion is pending.
The SEC and other regulatory authorities are conducting investigations regarding the sale of ARS. TDA Inc. has received a subpoena and other requests for documents and information from the regulatory authorities. The Company is cooperating with the investigations and requests. As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s clients hold ARS with an aggregate par value of approximately $1.2 billion in TDA Inc. accounts.
Other Legal and Regulatory Matters — The Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims and other legal proceedings in connection with its business. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Management believes the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to the legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and the outcome of these pending proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
In the normal course of business, the Company discusses matters with its regulators raised during regulatory examinations or otherwise subject to their inquiry. These matters could result in censures, fines or other sanctions. Management believes the outcome of any resulting actions will not be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
Income Taxes — The Company’s federal and state income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities. Because the application of tax laws and regulations to many types of transactions is subject to varying interpretations, amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements could be significantly changed at a later date upon final determinations by taxing authorities. The Toronto-Dominion Bank (“TD”) has agreed to indemnify the Company for tax obligations, if any, pertaining to activities of TD Waterhouse prior to the Company’s January 24, 2006 acquisition of TD Waterhouse.
General Contingencies — In the ordinary course of business, there are various contingencies that are not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. These include the Company’s broker-dealer subsidiaries’ client activities involving the execution, settlement and financing of various client securities transactions. These activities may expose the Company to credit risk in the event the clients are unable to fulfill their contractual obligations.
Client securities activities are transacted on either a cash or margin basis. In margin transactions, the Company may extend credit to the client, subject to various regulatory and internal margin requirements, collateralized by cash and securities in the client’s account. In connection with these activities, the Company also executes and clears client transactions involving the sale of securities not yet purchased (“short sales”). Such margin-related transactions may expose the Company to credit risk in the event a client’s assets are not sufficient to fully cover losses that the client may incur. In the event the client fails to satisfy its obligations, the Company has the authority to purchase or sell financial instruments in the client’s account at prevailing market prices in order to fulfill the client’s obligations. The Company seeks to mitigate the risks associated with its client securities activities by requiring clients to maintain margin collateral in compliance with various regulatory and internal guidelines. The Company monitors required margin levels throughout each trading day and, pursuant to such guidelines, requires clients to deposit additional collateral, or to reduce positions, when necessary.
The Company loans securities temporarily to other broker-dealers in connection with its broker-dealer business. The Company receives cash as collateral for the securities loaned. Increases in securities prices may cause the market value of the securities loaned to exceed the amount of cash received as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the loaned securities, the Company may be exposed to the risk of acquiring the securities at prevailing market prices in order to satisfy its client obligations. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market value of securities loaned on a daily basis and requiring additional cash as collateral when necessary, and by participating in a risk-sharing program offered through the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”).
The Company borrows securities temporarily from other broker-dealers in connection with its broker-dealer business. The Company deposits cash as collateral for the securities borrowed. Decreases in securities prices may cause the market value of the securities borrowed to fall below the amount of cash deposited as collateral. In the event the counterparty to these transactions does not return the cash deposited, the Company may be exposed to the risk of selling the securities at prevailing market prices. The Company mitigates this risk by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the collateral values on a daily basis and requiring collateral to be returned by the counterparties when necessary, and by participating in a risk-sharing program offered through the OCC. As of June 30, 2008, approximately $3.1 billion of receivables for securities borrowed were receivable from the OCC through their risk-sharing program, representing approximately 55% of the balance

13


Table of Contents

of receivables from brokers, dealers and clearing organizations on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The OCC’s most recent Standard and Poor’s credit rating is AAA.
As of June 30, 2008, client excess margin securities of approximately $12.0 billion and stock borrowings of approximately $5.5 billion were available to the Company to utilize as collateral on various borrowings or for other purposes. The Company had loaned approximately $8.8 billion and repledged approximately $0.9 billion of that collateral as of June 30, 2008.
Guarantees — The Company is a member of and provides guarantees to securities clearinghouses and exchanges. Under related agreements, the Company is generally required to guarantee the performance of other members. Under these agreements, if a member becomes unable to satisfy its obligations to the clearinghouse, other members would be required to meet shortfalls. The Company’s liability under these arrangements is not quantifiable and could exceed the cash and securities it has posted to the clearinghouse as collateral. However, the potential for the Company to be required to make payments under these agreements is considered remote. Accordingly, no contingent liability is carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for these transactions.
See “Money Market Deposit Account Agreement” in Note 10 for a description of a guarantee included in that agreement.
Employment Agreements — The Company has entered into employment agreements with several of its key executive officers. These employment agreements generally provide for annual base salary and incentive compensation, stock award acceleration and severance payments in the event of termination of employment under certain defined circumstances or changes in control of the Company. Incentive compensation amounts are based on the Company’s financial performance and other factors.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As a result of the acquisition of TD Waterhouse during fiscal 2006, TD became an affiliate of the Company. TD owned approximately 39.9% of the Company’s voting common stock as of June 30, 2008. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement among TD, the Company and certain other stockholders, TD has the right to designate five of twelve members to the Company’s board of directors. The Company transacts business and has extensive relationships with TD and certain of its affiliates. A description of significant transactions with TD and its affiliates is set forth below.
Money Market Deposit Account Agreement
Two subsidiaries of the Company, TDA Inc. and TDA Clearing, are party to a money market deposit account (“MMDA”) agreement with TD Bank USA, N.A. and TD, which was entered into on January 24, 2006 in connection with the TD Waterhouse acquisition. Under the MMDA agreement, TD Bank USA makes available to clients of TDA Inc. money market deposit accounts as designated sweep vehicles. TDA Inc. provides marketing and support services with respect to the money market deposit accounts and TDA Clearing acts as an agent for clients of TDA Inc. and as recordkeeper for TD Bank USA, in each case with respect to the money market deposit accounts. In exchange for providing these services, TD Bank USA pays

14


Table of Contents

TDA Inc. and TDA Clearing collectively a fee based on the yield earned by TD Bank USA on the client MMDA assets (including any gains or losses from sales of investments), less the actual interest paid to clients, actual interest cost incurred on borrowings, a flat fee to TD Bank USA of 25 basis points and the cost of FDIC insurance premiums. TD Bank USA invests the swept client cash primarily in fixed-income securities backed by Canadian government guarantees, which are highly-rated securities.
In the event the fee computation results in a negative amount, the Company’s subsidiaries must pay TD Bank USA the negative amount. This effectively results in the Company guaranteeing TD Bank USA revenue of 25 basis points on the MMDA agreement, plus the reimbursement of FDIC insurance premiums. The fee computation under the MMDA agreement is affected by many variables, including the type, duration, credit quality, principal balance and yield of the investment portfolio at TD Bank USA, the prevailing interest rate environment, the amount of client deposits and the yield paid on client deposits. Because a negative MMDA fee computation would arise only if there were extraordinary movements in many of these variables, the maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under this arrangement cannot be reasonably estimated. Management believes the potential for the fee calculation to result in a negative amount is remote and the fair value of the guarantee is not material. Accordingly, no contingent liability is carried on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for the MMDA agreement.
The Company earned fee income associated with the MMDA agreement of $155.7 million and $467.6 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $134.6 million and $399.7 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, which is reported as money market deposit account fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Effective July 1, 2008, TDA Inc. and TDA Clearing entered into an amendment to the MMDA agreement with TD Bank USA and TD. The amended agreement has a term of five years beginning July 1, 2008, and is automatically renewable for successive five-year terms, provided that it may be terminated by any party upon two year’s prior written notice. The amendment provides that, from time to time, the Company may recommend amounts and maturity dates for “notional investments” in the MMDA portfolio, subject to the approval of TD Bank USA. For the notional investment portion of the MMDA portfolio, the fee earned by the Company will be based on prevailing fixed rates for identical balances and maturities in the interest rate swap market at the time the notional investments are added to the MMDA portfolio. For the portion of the MMDA portfolio not consisting of notional investments, the fee earned by the Company will continue to be based on the yield earned by TD Bank USA (including any gains or losses from sales of investments).
Mutual Fund Agreements
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries and an affiliate of TD are parties to a services agreement, transfer agency agreement, shareholder services agreement and a dealer agreement pursuant to which certain mutual funds are made available as money market sweep or direct purchase options to Company clients and the Company performs marketing support services with respect to those funds. In consideration for offering the funds and performing the marketing support services, the affiliate of TD compensates the Company in accordance with the provisions of the services agreement. The Company also performs certain services for the applicable fund and receives fees for those services. In the event compensation under the transfer agency agreement, shareholder services agreement and dealer agreement is less than the minimum compensation called for by the services agreement, the deficit is earned under the services agreement. The services agreement had an initial term of two years and automatically renewed for an additional two-year term on January 24, 2008. The agreement is automatically renewable for successive two-year terms (so long as certain related agreements are in effect). It may be terminated by any party upon one year’s prior written notice. The Company earned fee income associated with these agreements of $51.5 million and $147.9 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $28.6 million and $82.1 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, which is included in investment product fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Cash Management Services Agreement
Pursuant to a Cash Management Services Agreement, TD Bank USA provides cash management services to clients of TDA Inc. In exchange for such services, the Company pays TD Bank USA service-based fees agreed upon by the parties. The Company incurred expense associated with the cash management services agreement of $0.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $1.1 million and $2.7 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, which is included in clearing and execution costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The cash management services agreement will continue in effect for as long as the MMDA agreement remains in effect, provided that it may be terminated by TDA Inc. without cause upon 60 days prior written notice to TD Bank USA.

Indemnification Agreement for Phantom Stock Plan Liabilities
Pursuant to an Indemnification Agreement, the Company agreed to assume TD Waterhouse liabilities related to the payout of awards under The Toronto-Dominion Bank 2002 Phantom Stock Incentive Plan following the completion of the TD Waterhouse acquisition. Under this plan, participants were granted units of stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) based on TD’s common stock that generally vest over four years. Upon exercise, the participant receives cash representing the appreciated value of the units between the grant date and the redemption date. In connection with the payout of awards under the 2002 Phantom Stock Incentive Plan, TD Discount Brokerage Holdings LLC (“TDDBH”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD, agreed to indemnify the Company for any liabilities incurred by the Company in excess of the provision for such liability included on the closing date balance sheet of TD Waterhouse. In addition, in the event that the liability incurred by the Company in connection with the 2002 Phantom Stock Incentive Plan is less than the provision for such liability included on the closing date balance sheet of TD Waterhouse, the Company agreed to pay the difference to TDDBH. There were 52,685 and 64,095 SARs outstanding as of June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007, respectively, with an approximate value of $1.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The Indemnification Agreement effectively protects the Company against fluctuations in TD’s common stock price with respect to the SARs, so there will be no net effect on the Company’s results of operations resulting from such fluctuations.
Restricted Share Units and Related Swap Agreements
The Company assumed TD Waterhouse restricted share unit plan liabilities following the completion of the acquisition of TD Waterhouse. Restricted share units are phantom share units with a value equivalent to the Toronto Stock Exchange closing price of TD common shares on the day before the award issuance. These awards vest and mature on the third or fourth anniversary of the award date at the average of the high and low prices for the 20 trading days preceding the redemption date. The redemption value, after tax withholdings, is paid in cash. Under these plans, participants were granted phantom share units equivalent to TD’s common stock that vest on a specified date after three or four years. On the acquisition date of TD Waterhouse, the Company entered into equity swap agreements with an affiliate of TD to offset changes in TD’s common stock price. During December 2007, most of the restricted share units vested and were settled and all the equity swap agreements expired. In May 2008, the remaining restricted share units vested and were settled. There were 181,059 restricted share units outstanding as of September 30, 2007, with an approximate value of $13.9 million. The Company recorded a loss on fair value adjustments to the equity swap agreements of $0.8 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 and a gain of $1.3 million and $1.8 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, which are reported as fair value adjustments of compensation-related derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Because the swap agreements were not designated for hedge accounting, the fair value adjustments are not recorded in the same category of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the corresponding compensation expense, which is recorded in the employee compensation and benefits category.
Canadian Call Center Services Agreement
Pursuant to the Canadian Call Center Services Agreement, TD will continue to receive and service client calls at its London, Ontario site for clients of TDA Inc. until May 1, 2010, unless the agreement is terminated earlier in accordance with its terms. In consideration of the performance by TD of the call center services, the Company pays TD, on a monthly basis, an amount approximately equal to TD’s monthly cost. The Company incurred expenses associated with the Canadian Call Center Services Agreement of $5.2 million and $13.8 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, and $3.5 million and $10.9 million for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, which is included in professional services expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other Related Party Transactions
Effective as of February 15, 2008, the Company entered into a Master License, Services and Distribution Agreement with Verdasys, Inc. Pursuant to this agreement, Verdasys, Inc. has agreed to develop data protection software for the Company for a contract sum of $15.2 million. The Company paid $5.0 million on the effective date of agreement, with the remainder payable after the acceptance of the software by the Company. An affiliate of TD has a minority equity investment in Verdasys, Inc.
Effective as of December 12, 2007, TDA Inc. entered into a Certificates of Deposit Brokerage Agreement with TD Bank USA, under which TDA Inc. will act as agent for its clients in purchasing certificates of deposit from TD Bank USA. Fees are calculated under the agreement in a manner consistent with the methodology of the MMDA agreement described above. The Company incurred net fee expense associated with the agreement of $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three months and

nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively, which is included in net interest revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Receivables from and payables to TD and affiliates of TD resulting from the related party transactions described above are included in receivable from affiliates and payable to affiliates, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Receivables from and payables to TD affiliates resulting from client cash sweep activity are generally settled in cash the next business day. Other receivables from and payables to affiliates of TD are generally settled in cash on a monthly basis.
Item 2. — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, and the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded by, followed by or that include the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,” “intend” and similar expressions. In particular, forward-looking statements contained in this discussion include our expectations regarding: the effect of client trading activity on our results of operations; the effect of changes in interest rates on our net interest spread; average commissions and transaction fees per trade; amounts of commissions and transaction fees, net interest revenue, money market deposit account fees, investment product fees and other revenues; amounts of total expenses; our effective income tax rate; our capital and liquidity needs and our plans to finance such needs; and the impact of recently issued accounting pronouncements.
The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. Important factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: general economic and political conditions; interest rates; stock market fluctuations and changes in client trading activity; increased competition; systems failures and capacity constraints; network security risks; ability to service debt obligations; regulatory and legal matters and uncertainties and the other risks and uncertainties set forth under Item 1A. — Risk Factors of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date on which the statements were made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise these statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make judgments and estimates that may have a significant impact upon our financial results. Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007, contains a summary of our significant accounting policies, many of which require the use of estimates and assumptions. We believe that the following areas are particularly subject to management’s judgments and estimates and could materially affect our results of operations and financial position: valuation of goodwill and intangible assets; valuation of stock-based compensation; and estimates of effective income tax rates, uncertain tax positions, deferred income taxes and valuation allowances. These areas are discussed in further detail under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.
Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “we,” “us” or “Company” in this report refer to TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The term “GAAP” refers to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
In discussing and analyzing our business, we utilize several metrics and other terms that are defined in a Glossary of Terms that is available in the “Investors” section of our website at www.amtd.com and is included in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007. Since the issuance of the Form 10-K, the definitions of “Liquid assets,” “Net interest margin” and “Spread-based assets (formerly known as investable assets)” have been updated and definitions for “Funded accounts” and “Net new assets” have been added to the glossary. These definitions are as follows (italics indicate other defined terms that appear elsewhere in the glossary):
      Funded accounts — All open client accounts with a total liquidation value greater than zero, except clearing accounts.
      Liquid assets — Liquid assets is considered a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by SEC Regulation G. We define liquid assets as the sum of a) corporate cash and cash equivalents, b) corporate short-term investments and c) regulatory net capital of (i) our clearing broker-dealer subsidiaries in excess of 5% of aggregate debit items and (ii) our introducing broker-

Table of Contents

dealer subsidiary in excess of 120% of the minimum dollar net capital requirement. We include the excess regulatory net capital of our broker-dealer subsidiaries in liquid assets, rather than simply including broker-dealer cash and cash equivalents, because regulatory net capital requirements may limit the amount of cash available for dividend from the broker-dealer subsidiaries to the parent company. Cash and cash equivalents from our trust and investment advisory subsidiaries is excluded from liquid assets because the cash and cash equivalents from these subsidiaries is generally not available for corporate purposes. We consider liquid assets an important measure of our liquidity and of our ability to fund corporate investing and financing activities. Liquid assets should be considered as a supplemental measure of liquidity, rather than as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents.
     Net interest margin (“NIM”) — A measure of the net yield on our average spread-based assets. Net interest margin is calculated for a given period by dividing the annualized sum of net interest revenue and money market deposit account (MMDA) fees by average spread-based assets.
      Net new assets — Consists of total client asset inflows, less total client asset outflows. Client asset inflows include interest and dividend payments and exclude changes in client assets due to market fluctuations. Net new assets are measured based on the market value of the assets as of the date of the inflows and outflows.
     Spread-based assets (formerly known as investable assets) — Client and brokerage-related asset balances, including client margin balances, segregated cash, money market deposit account (MMDA) balances, deposits paid on securities borrowing and other cash and interest-earning investment balances. Spread-based assets is used in the calculation of our net interest margin.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Conditions in the U.S. equity markets significantly impact the volume of our clients’ trading activity. There is a direct correlation between the volume of our clients’ trading activity and our results of operations. We cannot predict future trading volumes in the U.S. equity markets. If client trading activity increases, we expect that it would have a positive impact on our results of operations. If client trading activity were to decline, we expect that it would have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Changes in average balances, especially client margin, credit, MMDA and mutual fund balances, may also significantly impact our results of operations. Changes in interest rates impact our results of operations to a lesser extent because we seek to mitigate interest rate risk by aligning the average duration of our interest-earning assets with that of our interest-bearing liabilities. We cannot predict the direction of interest rates or the levels of client balances. If interest rates rise, we generally expect to earn a larger net interest spread. Conversely, a falling interest rate environment generally would result in our earning a smaller net interest spread.
Financial Performance Metrics
Pre-tax income, net income, earnings per share and EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) are key metrics we use in evaluating our financial performance. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
We consider EBITDA an important measure of our financial performance and of our ability to generate cash flows to service debt, fund capital expenditures and fund other corporate investing and financing activities. EBITDA is used as the denominator in the consolidated leverage ratio calculation for our senior credit facilities. The consolidated leverage ratio determines the interest rate margin charged on the senior credit facilities. EBITDA eliminates the non-cash effect of tangible asset depreciation and amortization and intangible asset amortization. EBITDA should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, pre-tax income, net income and cash flows from operating activities.

Our pre-tax income and EBITDA increased for the first nine months of fiscal 2008, compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007, primarily due to an 18% increase in net revenues, partially offset by a 2% increase in total expenses. The increased revenues were driven primarily by increased transaction-based revenue resulting from higher client trading volumes and, to a lesser extent, increased asset-based revenues resulting from higher average spread-based asset and fee-based investment balances and slightly higher net interest margin. The increase in total expenses was due primarily to spending on growth initiatives, partially offset by lower interest on borrowings and the first nine months of fiscal 2008 fully reflecting the operating cost synergies resulting from the TD Waterhouse acquisition. More detailed analysis of net revenues and expenses is presented later in this discussion.
Operating Metrics
Our largest sources of revenues are (1) asset-based revenues and (2) transaction-based revenues. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, asset-based revenues and transaction-based revenues accounted for 59% and 40% of our net revenues, respectively. Asset-based revenues consist of (1) net interest revenue, (2) MMDA fees and (3) investment product fees. The primary factors driving our asset-based revenues are average balances and average rates. Average balances consist primarily of average client margin balances, average segregated cash balances, average client credit balances, average client MMDA balances, average fee-based investment balances and average securities borrowing and lending balances. Average rates consist of the average interest rates and fees earned and paid on such balances. The primary factors driving our transaction-based revenues are total client trades and average commissions and transaction fees per trade. We also consider client account and client asset metrics, although we believe they are generally of less significance to our results of operations for any particular period than our asset-based revenue metrics and trading activity metrics.
Asset-Based Revenue Metrics
We calculate the return on our interest-earning assets and our MMDA balances using a measure we refer to as net interest margin. Net interest margin is calculated for a given period by dividing the annualized sum of net interest revenue and MMDA fees by average spread-based assets. Spread-based assets consist of client and brokerage-related asset balances, including client margin balances, segregated cash, MMDA balances, deposits paid on securities borrowing and other cash and interest-earning investment balances.

Three-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Net Revenues
Commissions and transaction fees increased 25% to $248.9 million, primarily due to higher average client trades per day. Total trades increased 24%, as average client trades per day increased 22% to 297,588 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 244,823 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007; and there was one more trading day during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Average client trades per account (annualized) were 11.0 for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to 9.7 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Average commissions and transaction fees per trade increased 1% to $13.07 per trade for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 from $12.91 for the third quarter of fiscal 2007, primarily due to higher percentages of option and fixed income trades during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. We expect average commissions and transaction fees to decrease slightly to between $12.45 and $12.95 per trade during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, depending on the mix of client trading activity, level of payment for order flow revenue and other factors. We expect revenues from commissions and transaction fees to decrease to between $180.9 million and $229.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, primarily due to lower expected average client trading volume of between 230,000 and 280,000 trades per day. Actual fourth quarter revenues from commissions and transaction fees will depend on the actual volume of client trading activity, average commissions and transaction fees per trade and other factors.

Table of Contents

Net interest revenue decreased 5% to $131.9 million, due primarily to a decrease of 238 basis points on the average yield earned on client margin balances and a $673 million decrease in average segregated cash balances for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. These decreases were partially offset by a $23.8 million increase in net interest revenue from our securities borrowing/lending program, a 10% increase in average client margin balances, $4.1 million of net interest revenue on balances resulting from the Fiserv Trust Company acquisition and a decrease of 112 basis points in the average interest rate paid on client credit balances in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. We expect net interest revenue to range between $128.1 million and $133.2 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
MMDA fees increased 16% to $155.7 million, due primarily to a 2% increase in average MMDA balances and an increase of 45 basis points in the average net yield earned on the client MMDA assets during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. We expect money market deposit account fees to increase slightly to between $158.7 million and $166.8 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008, due to slightly higher expected average MMDA balances.
Investment product fees increased 28% to $77.6 million, primarily due to a 54% increase in average fee-based investment balances, partially offset by a slightly lower average yield earned in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The lower average yield is primarily due to balances acquired during the second quarter of fiscal 2008 from Fiserv Trust Company earning a lower average yield as compared to the average yield earned on legacy TD AMERITRADE balances. We expect investment product fees to range between $74.7 million and $91.6 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
Other revenues increased 12% to $9.6 million. We expect other revenues to decrease to between $5.1 million and $9.1 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
Expenses
Total expenses increased by 3% to $295.7 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007, as described below. We expect total expenses to range between $291.0 million and $314.5 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008.
Employee compensation and benefits expense increased 13% to $129.0 million, due primarily to the increased headcount associated with our growth initiatives and higher incentive-based compensation related to actual Company and individual performance compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Full-time equivalent employees increased to 4,611 at June 30, 2008 from 3,760 at June 30, 2007.
Fair value adjustments of compensation-related derivative instruments represent adjustments to equity swap agreements that are intended to economically offset former TD Waterhouse employees’ stock-based compensation that is based on the value of TD stock. We assumed certain stock-based compensation arrangements in connection with our acquisition of TD Waterhouse, which we administer for the former TD Waterhouse employees. Because the swap agreements were not designated for hedge accounting, the fair value adjustments are not recorded in the same category of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as the stock-based compensation expense, which is recorded in the employee compensation and benefits category. During December 2007, the equity swap agreements were settled in connection with the settlement of most of the related restricted stock units.
Clearing and execution costs decreased 53% to $11.1 million, due primarily to cost reductions associated with the completion of the conversion of legacy TD Waterhouse clients to the legacy Ameritrade clearing platform during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Communications expense increased 1% to $17.9 million, due primarily to approximately $3.7 million of favorable settlements with exchanges related to quote costs for the legacy TD Waterhouse business during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. The effect of the favorable settlements was mostly offset by the elimination of duplicate telephone, quotes and market information costs during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, resulting from the completion of the TD Waterhouse integration during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Occupancy and equipment costs increased 8% to $24.0 million as we continue to invest in our technology infrastructure and facilities as part of our growth initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization increased 62% to $9.8 million, due primarily to increased depreciation on leasehold improvements and technology infrastructure upgrades as part of our growth initiatives.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased 13% to $15.3 million, due to increased amortization on client relationships related to the acquisition of Fiserv Trust Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
Professional services increased 68% to $29.0 million, primarily due to fees incurred under the transition services agreements related to the acquisition of Fiserv Trust Company during the third quarter of fiscal 2008. In addition, we had higher usage of

consulting and contract services during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 in connection with new product development and technology infrastructure upgrades related to our growth initiatives.
Interest on borrowings decreased 45% to $16.3 million, due primarily to lower average debt outstanding and lower average interest rates paid on our long-term debt during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2007. Our average debt outstanding was approximately $1.5 billion during the third quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to $1.7 billion for the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Other expenses decreased 40% to $6.4 million, due primarily to the effect of favorable litigation settlements and lower bad debt expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
Advertising expense increased 11% to $36.7 million, primarily due to increased spending during the third quarter of fiscal 2008 in response to competitive market share opportunities. We generally adjust our level of advertising spending in relation to stock market activity and other market conditions in an effort to maximize the number of new accounts while minimizing the advertising cost per new account.
Our effective income tax rate was 37.7% for both the third quarter of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007. We expect our effective income tax rate to be approximately 38% for the remainder of fiscal 2008. However, we expect that our adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN No. 48”), will result in increased volatility in our quarterly and annual effective income tax rate because FIN No. 48 requires that any change in measurement of a tax position taken in a prior tax year be recognized as a discrete event in the period in which it occurs.
Nine-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
Net Revenues
Commissions and transaction fees increased 28% to $754.0 million, primarily due to higher average client trades per day. Total trades increased 28%, as average client trades per day increased 27% to 310,432 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to 245,259 for the first nine months of fiscal 2007; and there were 1.5 more trading days during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Average client trades per account (annualized) were 11.8 for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to 9.7 for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Average commissions and transaction fees per trade increased to $12.92 per trade for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 from $12.85 for the first nine months of fiscal 2007, due primarily to higher percentages of option and fixed income trades and higher payment for order flow revenue during the first nine months of fiscal 2008. This was partially offset by the closing of our three Investment Centers during December 2006. The Investment Centers sold products such as load mutual funds and fixed income products that generated higher average commissions and transaction fees per trade than our core business.
Net interest revenue increased 1% to $418.9 million, due primarily to a 12% increase in average client margin balances, a $43.9 million increase in net interest revenue from our securities borrowing/lending program, $8.0 million of net interest revenue on balances resulting from the Fiserv Trust Company acquisition and a decrease of 85 basis points in the average interest rate paid on client credit balances in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The increase was partially offset by a decrease of 148 basis points on the average yield earned on client margin balances and a $676 million decrease in average segregated cash balances for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007.
MMDA fees increased 17% to $467.6 million, due primarily to a 4% increase in average MMDA balances and an increase of 42 basis points in the average net yield earned on the client MMDA assets during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007.
Investment product fees increased 31% to $223.2 million, primarily due to a 44% increase in average fee-based investment balances compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The increase was partially offset by a slightly lower average yield earned on fee-based investment balances during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007.
Other revenues decreased 18% to $24.3 million, due primarily to lower fees from corporate reorganizations of issuers during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and the effect of $2.3 million of net gains on investments held at our broker-dealer subsidiaries during the first nine months of fiscal 2007.
Expenses
Employee compensation and benefits expense increased 14% to $367.2 million, due primarily to the increased headcount associated with our growth initiatives and higher incentive-based compensation related to actual Company and individual performance compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007.

During December 2007, the equity swap agreements were settled in connection with the settlement of most of the related restricted stock units.
Clearing and execution costs decreased 51% to $32.5 million, due primarily to cost reductions associated with the completion of the clearing conversion during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Communications expense decreased 18% to $52.9 million, due primarily to the elimination of duplicate telephone, quotes and market information costs resulting from the completion of the TD Waterhouse integration.
Occupancy and equipment costs increased 15% to $74.3 million as we continue to invest in our technology infrastructure and due to the effect of a favorable legacy TD Waterhouse litigation settlement of $4.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2007.
Depreciation and amortization increased 37% to $26.4 million, due primarily to increased depreciation on leasehold improvements and technology infrastructure related to our growth initiatives and increased software amortization related to recently acquired functionality.
Amortization of acquired intangible assets increased 7% to $43.8 million, due to increased amortization on client relationships related to the acquisition of Fiserv Trust Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2008.
Professional services increased 20% to $76.8 million, primarily due to higher usage of consulting and contract services during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 in connection with new product development and technology infrastructure upgrades related to our growth initiatives and due to fees incurred under the transition services agreements related to the acquisition of Fiserv Trust Company during the second quarter of fiscal 2008. This was partially offset by consulting and contract services incurred during the first nine months of fiscal 2007 in connection with the TD Waterhouse integration, which was completed during the third quarter of fiscal 2007.
Interest on borrowings decreased 31% to $62.7 million, due primarily to lower average debt outstanding and lower average interest rates paid on our long-term debt during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2007. Our average debt outstanding was approximately $1.5 billion during the first nine months of 2008, compared to $1.7 billion for the first nine months of fiscal 2007.
Other expenses decreased 3% to $37.5 million, due primarily to the effect of favorable litigation settlements and lower regulatory dues and licensing fees, partially offset by higher client-related trading losses in the first nine months of fiscal 2008.
Advertising expense increased 12% to $129.5 million, primarily due to increased spending during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 in response to competitive market share opportunities.
Our effective income tax rate decreased to 35.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 compared to 38.4% for the first nine months of fiscal 2007. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 was lower due primarily to $7.2 million of favorable resolutions of state income tax matters and $11.1 million of adjustments to current and deferred income taxes resulting from a revision to estimated state income tax expense. The revision was based on our actual state income tax returns filed for calendar year 2006 and similar adjustments applied to estimated state income tax rates for 2007 and future years. These items favorably impacted our earnings for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 by approximately $0.03 per share.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We have historically financed our liquidity and capital needs primarily through the use of funds generated from operations and from borrowings under our credit agreements. We have also issued common stock and long-term debt to finance mergers and acquisitions and for other corporate purposes. Our liquidity needs during the first nine months of fiscal 2008 were financed primarily from our earnings and cash on hand. We plan to finance our operational capital and liquidity needs during the remainder of fiscal 2008 primarily from our earnings and cash on hand. In addition, we may utilize our revolving credit facility or issue equity or debt securities.
Dividends from our subsidiaries are a source of liquidity for the parent company. Our broker-dealer subsidiaries are subject to requirements of the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) relating to liquidity, capital standards and the use of client funds and securities. Our trust company subsidiaries are subject to various capital requirements

Table of Contents

administered by the federal banking agencies and by the states in which they are chartered. These requirements may limit the funds available for the payment of dividends to the parent company.
Under the SEC’s Uniform Net Capital Rule (Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)), our broker-dealer subsidiaries are required to maintain at all times at least the minimum level of net capital required under Rule 15c3-1. For clearing broker-dealers, this minimum net capital level is determined by a calculation described in Rule 15c3-1 that is primarily based on each broker-dealer’s “aggregate debits”, which primarily are a function of client margin balances at our clearing broker-dealer subsidiary. Since our aggregate debits may fluctuate significantly, our minimum net capital requirements may also fluctuate significantly from period to period. The parent company may make cash capital contributions to broker-dealer subsidiaries, if necessary, to meet net capital requirements.
Liquid Assets
We consider liquid assets an important measure of our liquidity and of our ability to fund corporate investing and financing activities. Liquid assets is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define liquid assets as the sum of a) corporate cash and cash equivalents, b) corporate short-term investments and c) regulatory net capital of (i) our clearing broker-dealer subsidiary in excess of 5% of aggregate debit items and (ii) our introducing broker-dealer subsidiary in excess of 120% of the minimum dollar net capital requirement. We include the excess regulatory net capital of our broker-dealer subsidiaries in liquid assets, rather than simply including broker-dealer cash and cash equivalents, because regulatory net capital requirements may limit the amount of cash available for dividend from the broker-dealer subsidiaries to the parent company. Cash and cash equivalents from our trust and investment advisory subsidiaries is excluded from liquid assets because the cash and cash equivalents from these subsidiaries is generally not available for corporate purposes. Liquid assets should be considered as a supplemental measure of liquidity, rather than as a substitute for cash and cash equivalents. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, to liquid assets (dollars in thousands):

Stock Repurchase Program
On August 2, 2006, our board of directors authorized a program to repurchase up to 12 million shares of our common stock in the open market and in block trades. On November 15, 2006, the board of directors added 20 million shares to the original authorization, increasing the total authorization to 32 million shares. During the third quarter of fiscal 2008, we repurchased

26


Table of Contents

approximately 0.9 million shares under the program at a weighted average purchase price of $17.78 per share. From the inception of the program through June 30, 2008, we have repurchased approximately 22.7 million shares at a weighted average purchase price of $17.24 per share.
Contractual Obligations
Our income taxes payable increased from approximately $76.8 million as of September 30, 2007 to approximately $144.0 million as of June 30, 2008. Income taxes payable as of June 30, 2008 primarily consists of liabilities for uncertain tax positions and related interest and penalties. The timing of payments, if any, on liabilities for uncertain tax positions cannot be predicted with reasonable accuracy.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We enter into guarantees and other off-balance sheet arrangements in the ordinary course of business, primarily to meet the needs of our clients and manage our asset-based revenues. For information on these arrangements, see the following sections under PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements: “Guarantees” under Note 8 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES and “Money Market Deposit Account Agreement” under Note 10 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS. The MMDA agreement accounts for a significant percentage of our revenues (25% of our net revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2008) and enables our clients to invest in an FDIC-insured deposit product without the need for the Company to maintain a bank charter.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
FIN No. 48 became effective for the Company on October 1, 2007. FIN No. 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement approach for a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return when there is uncertainty about whether that tax position will ultimately be sustained. The cumulative effect of adopting FIN No. 48 was a $4.2 million reduction to the beginning balance of retained earnings. For additional information regarding the adoption of FIN No. 48, see PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION, Item 1. Financial Statements – Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 5 — INCOME TAXES.
Item 3. — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk generally represents the risk of loss that may result from the potential change in the value of a financial instrument as a result of fluctuations in interest rates and market prices. We have established policies, procedures and internal processes governing our management of market risks in the normal course of our business operations. We do not hold any material market risk-sensitive instruments for trading purposes.
Credit Risk
Two primary sources of credit risk inherent in our business are client margin lending and securities lending and borrowing. We manage risk on client margin lending by requiring clients to maintain margin collateral in compliance with regulatory and internal guidelines. We monitor required margin levels daily and, pursuant to such guidelines, require our clients to deposit additional collateral, or to reduce positions, when necessary. We continuously monitor client accounts to detect excessive concentration, large orders or positions, patterns of day trading and other activities that indicate increased risk to us. We manage risks associated with our securities lending and borrowing activities by requiring credit approvals for counterparties, by monitoring the market value of securities loaned and collateral values for securities borrowed on a daily basis and requiring additional cash as collateral for securities loaned or return of collateral for securities borrowed when necessary and by participating in a risk-sharing program offered through the Options Clearing Corporation.
Interest Rate Risk
As a fundamental part of our brokerage business, we invest in interest-earning assets and are obligated on interest-bearing liabilities. In addition, we earn fees on our MMDA sweep arrangement with TD Bank USA, which are subject to interest rate risk. Changes in interest rates could affect the interest earned on assets differently than interest paid on liabilities. A rising interest rate environment generally results in our earning a larger net interest spread. Conversely, a falling interest rate environment generally results in our earning a smaller net interest spread.
Our most prevalent form of interest rate risk is referred to as “gap” risk.  This risk occurs when the interest rates we earn on our assets change at a different frequency or amount than the interest rates we pay on our liabilities. We have an Asset/Liability Committee as the governance body with the responsibility of managing interest rate risk, including gap risk.

Table of Contents

We use net interest simulation modeling techniques to evaluate the effect that changes in interest rates might have on pre-tax income. Our model includes all interest-sensitive assets and liabilities of the Company and interest-sensitive assets and liabilities associated with the MMDA agreement. The simulations involve assumptions that are inherently uncertain and, as a result, cannot precisely predict the impact that changes in interest rates will have on pre-tax income. Actual results may differ from simulated results due to differences in timing and frequency of rate changes, changes in market conditions and changes in management strategy that lead to changes in the mix of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities.
The simulations assume that the asset and liability structure of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and the MMDA arrangement would not be changed as a result of simulated changes in interest rates. The results of the simulations based on our financial position as of June 30, 2008 indicate that a gradual 1% (100 basis point) increase in interest rates over a 12-month period would result in approximately $22 million more pre-tax income, while a gradual 1% (100 basis point) decrease in interest rates over a 12-month period would result in approximately $30 million less pre-tax income.
Other Market Risks
Our revenues and financial instruments are denominated in U.S. dollars. We generally do not invest in derivative instruments, except for economic hedging purposes.
Item 4. — Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2008. Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Part II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. — Legal Proceedings
Spam Litigation – A purported class action, captioned Elvey v. TD Ameritrade, Inc., was filed on May 31, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint alleges that TDA Inc. disclosed, inadvertently or intentionally, the e-mail addresses of account holders to spammers, who then sent the account holders e-mail solicitations promoting certain stocks. The complaint includes claims of alleged violations of California and federal statutes and alleged breach of fiduciary duty and requests injunctive and other equitable relief and damages. As disclosed in a press release dated September 14, 2007, the Company discovered and eliminated unauthorized code from its systems that allowed access to an internal database. The discovery was made as the result of an internal investigation of stock-related spam. The Company hired an independent consultant to investigate whether identity theft occurred as a result of the breach. The consultant conducted four investigations over the last 12 months and reports that it continues to find no evidence of identity theft. A second lawsuit, captioned Zigler v. TD Ameritrade, Inc., was filed on September 26, 2007, in the same jurisdiction on behalf of a purported nationwide class of account holders. The factual allegations of the complaint and the relief sought are substantially the same as those in the first lawsuit.
The parties entered into an agreement to settle the lawsuits on a class basis subject to court approval. The cases were consolidated under the caption In re TD Ameritrade Accountholders Litigation. A hearing on a motion requesting preliminary approval of the proposed settlement was held on June 12, 2008. At the hearing, one of the three plaintiffs objected to the proposed settlement. The Court entered an order denying the motion for preliminary approval without prejudice and directed the parties to provide supplemental information to assist the Court in evaluating the proposed settlement. On July 10, 2008, TDA Inc. and two of the plaintiffs provided supplemental information in response to the Court’s direction and in further support of the proposed settlement. The Court has scheduled a case conference for September 15, 2008.
Auction Rate Securities Matters – Beginning in March 2008, lawsuits were filed against various financial services firms by customers related to their investments in auction rate securities (“ARS”). The plaintiffs in these lawsuits allege that the defendants made material misrepresentations and omissions in statements to customers about investments in ARS and the manner in which the ARS market functioned in violation of provisions of the federal securities laws. Two purported class action complaints have been filed alleging such conduct with respect to TDA Inc. and TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation. The first case, filed on March 19, 2008, is captioned Humphrys v. TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. et al. The

28


Table of Contents

second case, filed on April 17, 2008, is captioned Silverstein v. TD Ameritrade Holding Corp. et al. Both complaints were filed on behalf of customers who purchased ARS between March 19, 2003 and February 13, 2008. The complaints seek an unspecified amount of compensatory damages, injunctive relief, interest and attorneys’ fees. Both cases are pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. A motion has been filed by some plaintiffs requesting that the proceedings in the lawsuits against the various financial services firms in effect be consolidated before one judge. The Company and defendants and several plaintiffs in other cases have filed oppositions to the motion. The Company has asserted in its opposition that it is in a significantly different position than a number of other financial services firms because the Company did not act as an underwriter of ARS, did not act as a manager of any auctions and did not act as a market maker for ARS. The motion is pending.
The SEC and other regulatory authorities are conducting investigations regarding the sale of ARS. TDA Inc. has received a subpoena and other requests for documents and information from the regulatory authorities. The Company is cooperating with the investigations and requests. As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s clients hold ARS with an aggregate par value of approximately $1.2 billion in TDA Inc. accounts.
Other Legal and Regulatory Matters – The Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims and other legal proceedings in connection with its business. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Management believes the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to the legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent and the outcome of these pending proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
In the normal course of business, the Company discusses matters with its regulators raised during regulatory examinations or otherwise subject to their inquiry. These matters could result in censures, fines or other sanctions. Management believes the outcome of any resulting actions will not be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
Item 1A. — Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed under Item 1A — “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2007, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
There have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2007.

EX-10.1 2 c34539exv10w1.txt EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT EXHIBIT 10.1 TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION JOSEPH H. MOGLIA EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT This Agreement, originally entered into as of May 19, 2006, by and between TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation (the "Company") and Joseph H. Moglia ("Executive") and amended effective as of June 23, 2006, is hereby amended and restated in its entirety effective as of June 11, 2008 (the "Amendment Date"). 1. Duties and Scope of Employment. (a) Positions and Duties. Since May 19, 2006 (the "Effective Date"), Executive has served as Chief Executive Officer, reporting to the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board"). As of the Amendment Date, Executive continues to serve in such position and shall do so until September 30, 2008 (the "Transition Date"). Immediately after the Transition Date, Executive's service as the Chief Executive Officer shall cease and Executive shall immediately thereafter become the employee Chairman of the Board. Executive's duties as employee Chairman of the Board shall include those as set forth in the Company's Bylaws and as set forth in Exhibit A. The period Executive is employed by the Company under this Agreement as either the Chief Executive Officer or employee Chairman of the Board is referred to herein as the "Employment Term." (b) Board Membership. Executive was appointed to serve as a member of the Board prior to the Effective Date. During the Employment Term, at each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders at which Executive's term as a member of the Board has otherwise expired, the Company will nominate Executive to serve as a member of the Board, and after the Transition Date, such nomination shall provide that Executive shall hold the office of employee Chairman of the Board. Executive's service as a member of the Board and/or Chairman of the Board will be subject to any required stockholder approval. Upon the termination of Executive's employment for any reason, unless otherwise requested by the Board and agreed to by Executive, Executive will be deemed to have resigned from the Board (and any boards of subsidiaries) voluntarily, without any further required action by Executive, as of the end of Executive's employment and Executive, at the Board's request, will execute any reasonable documents necessary to reflect his resignation. (c) Obligations. During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive's full business efforts to the Company and will use good faith efforts to discharge Executive's obligations under this Agreement to the best of Executive's ability and in accordance with each of the Company's corporate guidance and ethics guidelines, conflict of interests policies and code of conduct. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the Audit Committee of the Board (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Audit Committee of the Board, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere (other than in an insubstantial manner) with Executive's obligations to Company. Executive expects to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of AXA Financial, Inc. and of its subsidiary, The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the U.S., and the parties agree that such service will not constitute a violation of this Section 1(c). (i) Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is not party to any contract, understanding, agreement or policy, written or otherwise, that would be breached by Executive's entering into, or performing services under, this Agreement. Executive further represents that he has disclosed to the Company all threatened, pending, or actual claims that are unresolved and still outstanding as of the Effective Date, in each case, against Executive of which he is aware, if any, as a result of his employment with his previous employer or his membership on any boards of directors (other than the Board or its affiliates, predecessors or subsidiaries). (d) Other Entities. Until the Transition Date, and thereafter as reasonably requested by the Board, Executive agrees to serve, without additional compensation, as an officer and director for each of the Company's subsidiaries, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and other affiliates, including entities in which the Company has a significant investment as determined by the Company. As used in this Agreement, the term "affiliates" will include any entity controlled by, controlling, or under common control of the Company. The parties agree that the indemnification, contribution and insurance rights of Executive referenced in Section 12 will also apply to Executive's activities under this Section 1(d). 2. At-Will Employment. Executive and the Company agree that Executive's employment with the Company constitutes "at-will" employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance and other payments and benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive's termination of employment. 3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement will continue from the Amendment Date through, including and ending on May 31, 2011 (the "Term of the Agreement"). The Term of the Agreement will be divided into two periods, with an initial period beginning on the Amendment Date and ending on the Transition Date and an additional period beginning immediately after the Transition Date and ending on May 31, 2011 (the "Additional Term"). The period of time beginning on the Amendment Date and ending on May 31, 2009, which is intended to reflect the remaining period of the "Initial Term" as that term was defined in the predecessor Agreement dated as of June 23, 2006, shall be referred to herein as the "Remaining Original Term." 4. Compensation. (a) Base Salary. As of the Amendment Date, the Company will continue to pay Executive an annual salary of $1,000,000 as compensation for his services (such annual salary, as is then effective, to be referred to herein as "Base Salary") during the Employment Term. The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with the Company's normal payroll practices and be subject to the usual, required withholdings. (b) Annual Incentive. With respect to the Company's 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, Executive will be eligible to participate in the Ameritrade Holding Corporation Management -2- Incentive Plan ("MIP"), pursuant to which Executive will be eligible to earn an annual incentive award (the "Annual Incentive") based upon the achievement of applicable performance criteria established in good faith by the HR & Compensation Committee of the Board within the first ninety (90) days of each applicable fiscal year and communicated in writing to Executive within such ninety (90) day period. For the Company's 2008 fiscal year the Annual Incentive will have a target value of $3,000,000. For the Company's 2009 fiscal year the Annual Incentive will have a target value of $2,000,000 (which reflects the pro-rata period beginning on October 1, 2008 and ending on May 31, 2009 (the "Pro-Rata Period")). Executive shall not be eligible to participate in the MIP for any period beginning on and after June 1, 2009. (c) Equity Awards. During the Employment Term, Executive will be eligible to participate in the Ameritrade Holding Corporation 1996 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"). (i) Special Grant. On March 10, 2006, Executive was granted a special award under the LTIP of 580,550 performance restricted share units (the "Special Grant"). The Special Grant will be scheduled to vest and be settled in accordance with the performance criteria and vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit B of the applicable Special Grant Award Agreement. (ii) Annual Award. On October 25, 2006, Executive was granted an award under the LTIP of 280,486 performance restricted stock units, and on October 25, 2007, Executive was granted an additional award under the LTIP of 288,210 restricted stock units (collectively the "Prior Awards"). The Prior Awards will be scheduled to vest and be settled in accordance with the performance criteria and vesting schedule set forth on Exhibit B of the applicable Award Agreement. As consideration for the execution of this amended and restated Agreement the Executive shall, with respect to the Company's 2008 and 2009 fiscal years, be eligible for additional awards under the LTIP of restricted share units with a target value, determined by the Company pursuant to a reasonable and uniform methodology on the date of grant, and will be scheduled to vest and be settled in accordance with the applicable performance criteria and vesting schedule provided in the applicable Award Agreement. For the Company's 2008 fiscal year the Annual Award will have a target value of $6,000,000 on the date of grant (the "2008 Award"). For the Company's 2009 fiscal year the Annual Award will have a target value of $4,000,000 on the date of grant (which reflects the Pro-Rata Period) (the "2009 Award"). The 2008 Award and the 2009 Award shall be scheduled to vest and be settled in accordance with the applicable performance criteria and vesting schedule to be provided in the applicable Award Agreement. The Prior Awards, the 2008 Award and the 2009 Award shall be referred to herein collectively as the "Annual Awards" and individually as an "Annual Award." Executive shall not receive any grant of any additional Annual Awards for any period beginning on and after June 1, 2009. (iii) Should any conflict or inconsistency exist between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Special Grant or an Annual Award that would provide Executive with a greater or otherwise better benefit, then the terms of this Agreement will prevail. -3- 5. Employee Benefits. (a) Generally. Executive will be eligible to participate in accordance with the terms of all Company employee benefit plans, policies and arrangements that are applicable to other executive officers of the Company, as such plans, policies and arrangements may exist from time to time. (b) Airplane Travel. When traveling on Company-related business, Executive will be entitled to fly on private aircraft, at the sole expense of the Company. 6. Expenses.

If Executive voluntarily terminates his employment without Good Reason prior to the Transition Date, then, except as provided in Section 7, (i) Executive will forfeit his Annual Incentive award for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, and (ii) Executive will forfeit all unvested restricted share units previously granted as part of the Special Grant or any Annual Awards under the LTIP.

Conditions to Receipt of Severance; Non-solicitation and Non-competition; No Duty to Mitigate. (a) Conditions to Receipt of Severance. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 8 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation and release of claims agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B, but with any appropriate reasonable modifications, reflecting changes in applicable law, as is necessary to provide the Company with the protection it would have if the release were executed as of the Effective Date. No severance will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective. The Company agrees that it will execute and deliver to Executive said separation and release of claims agreement no later than eight (8) days after it receives a copy of such agreement executed by Executive. Company agrees that it will be bound by such separation and release of claims agreement and that same will become effective from and after the "Effective Date" thereof (as defined in Section 28 of such separation and release of claims agreement), even if Company fails or refuses to execute and deliver same to Executive. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 8 will also be subject to, during the Employment Term and the Restricted Period, Executive complying with the non-solicitation and non-competition requirements of Section 9(b). (b) Non-solicitation and Non-competition. (i) During the Employment Term and the Restricted Period Executive shall not (without the written consent of the Board) engage or participate in any business within any state in the United States where the Company conducts business (as an owner, partner, stockholder, holder of any other equity interest, or financially as an investor or lender, or in any capacity calling for the rendition of personal services or acts of management, operation or control) which is engaged in any activities or business competitive with any of the primary businesses conducted by the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below) other than as set forth in clauses (ii) and (iii) below. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "primary businesses" is defined as an on-line brokerage business (a "Competitive Business"). (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree and understand that under this Section 9(b): (1) during the Remaining Original Term, Executive shall be prohibited during the Restricted Period from engaging or participating with any business, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity (an "Other Business") that includes the primary business irrespective of the size of the primary business of the Other Business in comparison to overall size of such Other Business and (2) after the Remaining Original Term and/or upon the completion of the Term of the Agreement, Executive shall remain subject to the other restrictions set forth in Section 9(b)(i) above, but shall be permitted to engage or participate during the remainder of the Restricted Period in any Other Business, including, solely for this clause (2), divisions of any Other Business, such as private client, asset management, institutional services, that includes the primary business, provided that Executive does not have primary responsibility for the on-line brokerage business of the Other Business. For purposes of this Section 9(b)(ii)(2), if Executive is in charge of any division of any Other Business which division includes an on-line brokerage business and another employee(s) is primarily responsible for such on-line brokerage business (such employee(s), the "Brokerage -7- Head"), Executive will not be deemed to have primary responsibility for the on-line brokerage business of such Other Business even if such Brokerage Head directly reports to and/or is supervised by Executive. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall be permitted to own securities of (1) any Other Business that he is engaged or employed by as permitted by Section 9(b)(ii)(2) (without being subject to any limitation on the percentage of such securities that he may own) and (2) any other Competitive Business so long as the securities of such corporation or other entity are listed on a national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Market and the securities owned directly or indirectly by Executive do not represent more than 2% of the outstanding securities of such corporation or other entity; (iv) During the Restricted Period, neither Executive, nor any Other Business for which Executive may engage or participate in, will directly, (A) knowingly induce any customer or vendor of the Company or of corporations or businesses which directly or indirectly are controlled by the Company (collectively, the "Affiliates") to patronize any Competitive Business; or (B) knowingly request or advise any customer or vendor to withdraw, curtail or cancel such customer's or vendor's business with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Subsection (A) above will not apply to a customer or vendor that was already a customer or vendor of the Competitive Business at the time Executive's employment with the Company is terminated, and will only apply to vendors that supply products or services that are by their nature specialized and significant to the Company in relation to any of the primary businesses of the Company at the time of termination. (v) During the Restricted Period, neither Executive nor any Other Business for which Executive may engage or participate in will (A) knowingly hire, solicit for hire or attempt to hire any key employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (B) encourage any key employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate such employment. For purposes of this Agreement, "key employee" means current employees whose base annual salary exceeds $200,000 as well as anyone employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates within the prior six (6) months from Executive's date of termination whose base annual salary exceeds $200,000; provided, however, that this provision will not preclude any business in which Executive may engage or participate in from soliciting any such employee by means of or hiring any such employee who (1) responds to a public announcement placed by the business and/or (2) was solicited by a recruiter pursuant to a non-targeted mailing (including e-mails) and/or non-targeted phone calls, as long as Executive otherwise complies with subsections (A) and (B) above; and (vi) In the event that any of the provisions of this Section should ever be deemed to exceed the time, geographic or occupational limitations permitted by applicable laws, then such provisions will and are hereby reformed to the maximum time, geographic or occupational limitations permitted by applicable law. (c) Nondisparagement. During the Employment Term and Restricted Period, Executive will not knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding the Company, its directors, or its officers. The Company will instruct its officers and directors to not knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding Executive during the Employment Term and Restricted Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this agreement will be deemed to restrict Executive, the Company or -8- any of the Company's current or former officers and/or directors from providing information to any governmental or regulatory agency (or in any way limit the content of any such information) to the extent they are requested or required to provide such information pursuant to applicable law or regulation. (d) Other Requirements. Executive's receipt of continued severance payments will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with the terms and provisions of Sections 9 and 10. Executive will not be obligated to comply with Section 9 of this Agreement while the Company is in material default of its payment and reimbursement obligations under Sections 7, 8, 10, or 17 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be considered to be in default of its payments and reimbursement obligations unless Executive provides written notice to the Board setting forth his reasons why he believes the Company is in default and giving the Company fifteen (15) days to cure such default, if any. (e) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or consideration contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment or consideration. (f) Inadvertence. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 (or any other provision) of this Agreement to the contrary, any inadvertent violation by Executive of any of the provisions of Section 9(b)(iv) or 9(b)(v) which Executive believed in good faith was not a violation of such Sections and any violation by any Other Business in which Executive may engage or participate of any of the provisions of Section 9(b)(iv) or 9(b)(v) which violation was done without the Executive's knowledge and without the Executive's direct or indirect participation or encouragement shall not result in the cessation of Executive's severance payments hereunder. Executive shall remain liable for the Company's direct damages, if any, resulting from any such violation of Section 9(b)(iv) or 9(b)(v); provided, however, the Executive shall only be liable for any violation by any Other Business in which Executive may engage or participate of Section 9(b)(iv) or 9(b)(v) to the extent that Executive directly causes or directly encourages such business to take any action prohibited by such section. 10. Confidential Information and Intellectual Property. (a) Except as may be required by law or legal process, or except to the extent required to perform Executive's duties and responsibilities hereunder, Executive will keep secret and confidential indefinitely, so long as same remains secret and confidential, all non-public confidential information (including, without limitation, information regarding cost of new accounts, activity rates of different market niche customers, advertising results, technology (hardware and software), architecture, discoveries, processes, algorithms, maskworks, strategies, intellectual properties, customer lists and other customer information) concerning any of the Company and its affiliates which was acquired by or disclosed to Executive during the course of Executive's employment with the Company ("Confidential Information") and not use in any manner or disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other person, firm or business entity. (b) At the end of the Employment Term (whether by expiration or termination) or at the Company's earlier request, Executive will promptly return to the Company (or destroy if so directed by the Company) any and all records, documents, physical property, information, computer -9- disks, drives or other materials relative to the business of any of the Company and its affiliates obtained by Executive during the course of his employment with the Company and not keep any copies thereof. (c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that all right, title and interest in inventions, discoveries, improvements, trade secrets, developments, processes and procedures made by Executive, in whole or in part, or conceived by Executive either alone or with others, when employed by the Company, including such of the foregoing items conceived during the course of employment which are developed or perfected after Executive's termination of employment, are owned by the Company ("Company IP"). Executive assigns any and all right, title and interest he may have to Company IP to the Company and will promptly assist the Company or its designee, at the Company's expense, to obtain patents, trademarks, copyrights and service marks concerning Company IP made by Executive and Executive will promptly execute all reasonable documents prepared by the Company or its designee and take all other reasonable actions which are necessary or appropriate to secure to the Company and its affiliates the benefits of Company IP. Such patents, trademarks, copyrights and service marks will at all times be the property of the Company and its affiliates. Executive promptly will keep the Company informed of, and promptly will execute such assignments prepared by the Company or its designee as may be necessary to transfer to the Company or its affiliates the benefits of, any Company IP. The Company will promptly reimburse Executive for all costs, fees (including reasonable attorney fees) and expenses incurred by him in connection with his obligations and undertakings in this paragraph (c) and in paragraph (d) below. (d) To the extent that any court or agency seeks to require Executive to disclose Confidential Information, Executive promptly will inform the Company and take reasonable steps, at the Company's expense, to endeavor to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information until the Company has been informed of such requested disclosure, and the Company has an opportunity to respond to such court or agency. To the extent Executive obtains information on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates that Executive knows is subject to attorney-client privilege as to the Company's attorneys, Executive will promptly inform the Company and take reasonable steps, at the Company's expense, to endeavor to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to preserve such privilege. (e) Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain or information which has been released to the public by the Company. Nothing in this Section 10 will be construed so as to prevent Executive from using, in connection with his employment for himself or an employer other than the Company, knowledge which was acquired by him during the course of his employment with the Company and which is generally known to persons of his experience in other companies in the same industry. Subject to Section 10(d), Executive will be permitted to disclose Confidential Information if required by a subpoena or court or administrative order. (f) The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 8 will be subject to Executive complying with the terms of this Section 10. 11. Definitions. -10- (a) Award Agreement.

(c) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, "Change of Control" will have the meaning set forth in the LTIP. (d) Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, Disability means, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which prevents Executive from performing his material duties under this Agreement, with reasonable accommodation, on a substantially full time basis for not less than one hundred eighty (180) consecutive calendar days.

For purposes of this Agreement, "Good Reason" means the occurrence of any of the following, without Executive's express written consent: (i) Until the Transition Date, the appointment of any individual other than Executive as Chief Executive Officer of the Company; (ii) After the Transition Date, the appointment or nomination by the Board of any individual other than Executive as Chairman of the Board; (iii) Any failure by the Company to provide Executive with the reporting relationship as provided in Section 1(a) or any material and adverse reduction in Executive's reporting relationship other than any isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure by the Company that is not in bad faith and is cured promptly on Executive giving the Company notice of such failure; (iv) A material reduction in the kind or level of employee benefits to which Executive is entitled immediately prior to such reduction with the result that Executive's overall benefits package is significantly reduced. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a one-time reduction that also is applied to substantially all other executive officers of the Company and that reduces the level of employee benefits by a percentage reduction of 10% or less will not constitute Good Reason; (v) A reduction (even if permitted under the applicable plan documents or Award Agreement or Annual Incentive) in Executive's Base Salary, Target Annual Incentive, Special Grant, or Annual Award as in effect immediately prior to such reduction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a one-time reduction that also is applied (and continues to apply) to substantially all other executive officers of the Company and which one-time reduction reduces any of the Base Salary, Target Annual Incentive, Special Grant, or Annual Award by a percentage reduction of 10% or less in the aggregate will not constitute Good Reason.

The negotiations regarding the structure and benefits to be provided pursuant to this Agreement prior to the Amendment Date and execution of this amended and restated Agreement, and the corresponding changes made to this Agreement, shall not be considered grounds to constitute Good Reason. (f) Restricted Period. The term "Restricted Period" shall mean, the lesser of: (i) the period of time commencing on the date of the termination of Executive's employment and continuing for the remainder of the Term of the Agreement or (ii) twelve (12) months; provided, however, that in no event shall the "Restricted Period" be less than six (6) months. In the case of a termination upon the completion of the Term of the Agreement, the term "Restricted Period" will equal six (6) months. (g) Severance Period. For purposes of this Agreement, if Executive is terminated during the Remaining Original Term, "Severance Period" will mean the greater of: (i) the period of time commencing on the date of the termination of Executive's employment and continuing for the remainder of the Remaining Original Term, or (ii) one (1) year.

For this purpose, "successor" means any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, -12- merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Company. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of Executive's right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void. 15. Notices.

If any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision. 17. Arbitration.

During the Employment Term, Executive will devote Executive's full business efforts and time to the Company and will use good faith efforts to discharge Executive's obligations under this Agreement to the best of Executive's ability and in accordance with each of the Company's corporate guidance and ethics guidelines, conflict of interests policies and code of conduct. For the duration of the Employment Term, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity for any direct or indirect remuneration without the prior approval of the applicable committee of the Board; provided, however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Board, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive's obligations to Company. (c) Impediments to Employment. Executive hereby represents and warrants to the Company that Executive is not party to any contract, understanding, agreement or policy, written or otherwise, that would be breached by Executive's entering into, or performing services under, this Agreement. Executive further represents that he has disclosed to the Company in writing all threatened, pending, or actual claims that are unresolved and still outstanding as of the Effective Date, in each case, against Executive of which he is aware, if any, as a result of his employment with the Previous Employer (or any other previous entity for which Executive provided services) or his membership on any boards of directors. (d) Other Entities. Executive agrees to serve, without additional compensation, as an officer and director for each of the Company's subsidiaries, partnerships, joint ventures, limited liability companies and other affiliates, including entities in which the Company has a significant investment as determined by the Company.

Executive and the Company agree that Executive's employment with the Company constitutes "at-will" employment. Executive and the Company acknowledge that this employment relationship may be terminated at any time, upon written notice to the other party, with or without good cause or for any or no cause, at the option either of the Company or Executive. However, as described in this Agreement, Executive may be entitled to severance benefits depending upon the circumstances of Executive's termination of employment. 3. Term of Agreement. This Agreement shall have an initial term beginning on the Amendment Date and ending on the Transition Date (the "COO Term"). Thereafter, this Agreement will have a term of five (5) years commencing on the Transition Date (the "Initial Term").

(iii) Stock Option Grant. Effective as of the Amendment Date, and conditioned upon Executive becoming the CEO as of the Transition Date, Executive shall be granted a stock option to purchase 1,150,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Option"). If for any reason Executive does not become the CEO on the Transition Date, the Option shall be forfeited and Executive shall have no right to shares of Company common stock thereunder. The Option shall be a "non-statutory stock option" and shall not be intended to be an "incentive stock option" (as described under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")). The per share exercise price of such Option shall be equal to the fair market value of a share of Company common stock on the date of grant as determined under the LTIP. The term of the Option shall be ten years, subject to earlier expiration in the event of the termination of the Executive's employment as provided in the applicable Award Agreement.

Conditions to Receipt of Severance; Non-solicitation and Non-competition; No Duty to Mitigate. (a) Conditions to Receipt of Severance. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 8 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation and release of claims agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A, but with any appropriate reasonable modifications, reflecting changes in applicable law, as is necessary to provide the Company with the protection it would have if the release were executed as of the Effective Date. No severance will be paid or provided until the separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective. The Company agrees that it will execute and deliver to Executive said separation and release of claims agreement no later than eight (8) days after it receives a copy of such agreement executed by Executive. Company agrees that it will be bound by such separation and release of claims agreement and that same will become effective from and after the "Effective Date" thereof (as defined in Section 28 of such separation and release of claims agreement), even if Company fails or refuses to execute and deliver same to Executive. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 8 will also be subject to, during the Employment Term and the Restricted Period, Executive complying with the non-solicitation and non-competition requirements of Section 9(b). -5- (b) Non-solicitation and Non-competition. During the Employment Term and the Restricted Period, Executive will not (without the written consent of the Board) engage or participate in any business within any state in the United States, or any province in Canada, where the Company conducts business (as an owner, partner, stockholder, holder of any other equity interest, or financially as an investor or lender, or in any capacity calling for the rendition of personal services or acts of management, operation or control) which is engaged in any activities and for any business competitive with any of the primary businesses conducted by the Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below). For purposes of this Agreement, the term "primary businesses" is defined as an on-line brokerage business and the active trader and long term investor client segments, and also includes any such other business formally proposed (and considered at a meeting of the Board) to be conducted by the Company (collectively a "Competitive Business"). Provided that this restriction will not restrict Executive from being employed by (i) the Previous Employer in any capacity, or (ii) consulting with a business, firm, corporation, partnership or other entity that owns or operates an on-line brokerage, provided that (i) the on-line brokerage business is de minimis as compared to its core business in terms of revenue and/or resources, and (ii) Executive's involvement with the company excludes, directly or indirectly, the on-line brokerage business during the Restricted Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may own securities of a Competitive Business so long as the securities of such corporation or other entity are listed on a national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ Global Market and the securities owned directly or indirectly by Executive do not represent more than 2% of the outstanding securities of such corporation or other entity; (i) During the Restricted Period, neither Executive, nor any business in which Executive may engage or participate in, will directly or indirectly, (A) knowingly induce any customer or vendor of the Company or of corporations or businesses which directly or indirectly are controlled by the Company (collectively, the "Affiliates") to patronize any Competitive Business; (B) knowingly request or advise any customer or vendor to withdraw, curtail or cancel such customer's or vendor's business with the Company or any of its Affiliates; or (C) compete with the Company or any of its Affiliates in merging with or acquiring any other company or business (whether by a purchase of stock or other equity interests, or a purchase of assets or otherwise) which is a Competitive Business; (ii) During the Restricted Period, neither Executive nor any business in which Executive may engage or participate in will (A) knowingly hire, solicit for hire or attempt to hire any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates, or (B) encourage any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates to terminate such employment. For purposes of this Agreement, "employee" means current employees as well as anyone employed by the Company or any of its Affiliates within the prior six (6) months from Executive's date of termination; provided, however, that this provision will not preclude any business in which Executive may engage or participate in from soliciting any such employee by means of or hiring any such employee who responds to a public announcement placed by the business as long as Executive otherwise complies with subsections (A) and (B) above; and (iii) In the event that any of the provisions of this Section should ever be deemed to exceed the time, geographic or occupational limitations permitted by applicable laws, then such provisions will and are hereby reformed to the maximum time, geographic or occupational limitations permitted by applicable law. -6- (c) Nondisparagement. During the Employment Term and Restricted Period, Executive will not knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding the Company, its directors, or its officers. The Company will instruct its officers and directors to not knowingly disparage, criticize, or otherwise make any derogatory statements regarding Executive during the Employment Term and Restricted Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this agreement will be deemed to restrict Executive, the Company or any of the Company's current or former officers and/or directors from providing information to any governmental or regulatory agency (or in any way limit the content of any such information) to the extent they are requested or required to provide such information pursuant to applicable law or regulation. (d) Other Requirements. Executive's initial receipt of severance and/or the receipt of continued severance payments pursuant to Section 8 will be subject to Executive complying with the terms and provisions of Sections 9 and 10. Executive will not be obligated to comply with Section 9 of this Agreement while the Company is in material default of its payment and reimbursement obligations under Sections 7, 8, or 10 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be considered to be in default of its payments and reimbursement obligations unless Executive provides written notice to the Board setting forth his reasons why he believes the Company is in default and giving the Company fifteen (15) days to cure such default, if any. (e) No Duty to Mitigate. Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or consideration contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment or consideration. 10. Confidential Information and Intellectual Property. (a) Except as may be required by law, or except to the extent required to perform Executive's duties and responsibilities hereunder, Executive will keep secret and confidential indefinitely all non-public confidential information (including, without limitation, information regarding cost of new accounts, activity rates of different market niche customers, advertising results, technology (hardware and software), architecture, discoveries, processes, algorithms, maskworks, strategies, intellectual properties, customer lists and other customer information) concerning any of the Company and its affiliates which was acquired by or disclosed to Executive during the course of Executive's employment with the Company ("Confidential Information") and not use in any manner or disclose the same, either directly or indirectly, to any other person, firm or business entity. (b) At the end of the Employment Term (whether by expiration or termination) or at the Company's earlier request, Executive will promptly return to the Company any and all records, documents, physical property, information, computer disks, drives or other materials relative to the business of any of the Company and its affiliates obtained by Executive during the course of his employment with the Company and not keep any copies thereof. (c) Executive acknowledges and agrees that all right, title and interest in inventions, discoveries, improvements, trade secrets, developments, processes and procedures made by Executive, in whole or in part, or conceived by Executive either alone or with others, when -7- employed by the Company, including such of the foregoing items conceived during the course of employment which are developed or perfected after Executive's termination of employment, are owned by the Company ("Company IP"). Executive assigns any and all right, title and interest he may have to Company IP to the Company and will promptly assist the Company or its designee, at the Company's expense, to obtain patents, trademarks, copyrights and service marks concerning Company IP made by Executive and Executive will promptly execute all reasonable documents prepared by the Company or its designee and take all other reasonable actions which are necessary or appropriate to secure to the Company and its affiliates the benefits of Company IP. Such patents, trademarks, copyrights and service marks will at all times be the property of the Company and its affiliates. Executive promptly will keep the Company informed of, and promptly will execute such assignments prepared by the Company or its designee as may be necessary to transfer to the Company or its affiliates the benefits of, any Company IP. (d) To the extent that any court or agency seeks to require Executive to disclose Confidential Information, Executive promptly will inform the Company and take reasonable steps to endeavor to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information until the Company has been informed of such requested disclosure, and the Company has an opportunity to respond to such court or agency. To the extent Executive obtains information on behalf of the Company or any of its affiliates that may be subject to attorney-client privilege as to the Company's attorneys, Executive will promptly inform the Company and take reasonable steps to endeavor to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to preserve such privilege. (e) Confidential Information does not include information already in the public domain or information which has been released to the public by the Company. Nothing in this Section 10 will be construed so as to prevent Executive from using, in connection with his employment for himself or an employer other than the Company, knowledge which was acquired by him during the course of his employment with the Company and which is generally known to persons of his experience in other companies in the same industry. Subject to Section 10(d), Executive will be permitted to disclose Confidential Information if required by a subpoena or court or administrative order. (f) The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 8 will be subject to Executive complying with the terms of this Section 10. 11. Excise Taxes. In the event that the benefits provided for in this Agreement constitute "parachute payments" within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (the "Excise Tax"), then Executive's severance benefits payable under the terms of this Agreement will be either (i) delivered in full, or (ii) delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such severance benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of severance benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such severance benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 11 will be made in writing by the Company's independent public accountants (the "Accountants"), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company for all purposes. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 11, the Accountants may make -8- reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Section 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Accountants such information and documents as the Accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 11. The Company will bear all costs the Accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 11. 12. Definitions. (a) Award Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Award Agreement" will mean the form of award agreement entered into between Executive and the Company in connection with the Special Grant, Annual Awards and the Option. (b) Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" will mean: (i) Executive's willful and continued failure to perform the duties and responsibilities of his or her position after there has been delivered to Executive a written demand for performance from the Board which describes the basis for the Board's belief that Executive has not substantially performed his or her duties and provides Executive with thirty (30) days to take corrective action; (ii) Any act of personal dishonesty taken by Executive in connection with his or her responsibilities as an employee of the Company with the intention or reasonable expectation that such action may result in the substantial personal enrichment of Executive; (iii) Executive's conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere to, a felony that the Board reasonably believes has had or will have a material detrimental effect on the Company's reputation or business; (iv) A breach of any fiduciary duty owed to the Company by Executive that has a material detrimental effect on the Company's reputation or business; (v) Executive being found liable in any Securities and Exchange Commission or other civil or criminal securities law action or entering any cease and desist order with respect to such action (regardless of whether or not Executive admits or denies liability); (vi) Executive (A) obstructing or impeding; (B) endeavoring to influence, obstruct or impede, or (C) failing to materially cooperate with, any investigation authorized by the Board or any governmental or self-regulatory entity (an "Investigation").

Subject to applicable law, Executive will be provided indemnification to the maximum extent permitted by the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, including, if applicable, any directors and officers insurance policies, with such indemnification to be on terms determined by the Board or any of its committees, but on terms no less favorable than provided to any other Company executive officer or director and subject to the terms of any separate written indemnification agreement. 14.

Severability. If any provision hereof becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable, or void, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect without said provision. 17. Arbitration. The Parties agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, Executive's employment by the Company, Executive's service as an officer or director of the Company, or Executive's compensation and benefits, their interpretation and any of the matters herein released, will be subject to binding arbitration in Jersey City, New Jersey before the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes, supplemented by the New Jersey Rules of Civil Procedure.

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY.

Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Participant named in the Notice of Grant (the "Participant") an option (the "Option") to purchase the number of Shares, as set forth in the Notice of Grant, at the exercise price per Share set forth in the Notice of Grant (the "Exercise Price"), subject to all of the terms and conditions in this Agreement and the Plan, which is incorporated herein by reference. Subject to Section 15.3 of the Plan, in the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of the Plan and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Plan will prevail. 2. Vesting Schedule. Except as otherwise provided in the Notice of Grant and Section 3, 4 and 5 of this Agreement, the Option awarded by this Agreement will vest in accordance with the vesting provisions set forth in the Notice of Grant. Shares scheduled to vest on a certain date or upon the occurrence of a certain condition will not vest in Participant in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, unless Participant will have been continuously an Employee and/or Director from the Date of Grant until the date such vesting occurs. 3. Death or Disability. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Employee and/or Director due to his death or Disability, then notwithstanding anything in the LTIP or this Agreement to the contrary, (1) the Shares subject to the Option will become fully vested, and the Option will become fully exercisable, as of the date of termination, and (2) the Participant shall have at least twelve months after termination of employment to exercise such vested Option (subject to the ten year term of the Option). 4. Retirement. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Employee and/or Director due to his Retirement (as defined below), then notwithstanding anything in the LTIP or this Agreement to the contrary, (1) the Shares subject to the Option will not be forfeited upon such termination and instead become exercisable pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant, regardless of whether or not the Participant is then employed by the Company, and (2) the Participant shall have at least twelve months after the date the Option has become fully exercisable pursuant to this Section to exercise such Option (subject to the ten year term of the Option). For the purposes of this Option, "Retirement" shall mean a termination of employment for any reason, other than "Cause" (as defined in Section 12(b) of the Employment Agreement), after attaining age fifty-five (55) and after having at least ten (10) years of continuous service with the Company. 5. Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason. In the event that the Participant ceases to be an Employee and/or Director due to his termination by the Company without Cause or if the Participant resigns for Good Reason (both pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 8(a) of the Employment Agreement), then notwithstanding anything in the LTIP or this Agreement to the contrary, (1) the Shares subject to the Option will not be forfeited upon such termination and instead become exercisable pursuant to the Vesting Schedule set forth in the Notice of Grant, regardless of whether or not the Participant is then employed by the Company, and (2) the Participant shall have at least twelve months after the date the Option has become fully exercisable pursuant to this Section to exercise such Option (subject to the ten year term of the Option). -3- 6. Board and Committee Discretion. The Board or the Committee, in its discretion, may accelerate the vesting of the balance, or some lesser portion of the balance, of the unvested Option at any time, subject to the terms of the Plan. If so accelerated, such Option will be considered as having vested as of the date specified by the Board or the Committee. 7. Exercise of Option. This Option may be exercised only within the term set out in the Notice of Grant, and may be exercised during such term only in accordance with the Plan and the terms of this Agreement. This Option is exercisable by delivery of an exercise notice, in the form attached as Exhibit B (the "Exercise Notice") or in a manner and pursuant to such procedures as the Board or the Committee may determine, which will state the election to exercise the Option, the number of Shares in respect of which the Option is being exercised (the "Exercised Shares"), and such other representations and agreements as may be required by the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Plan. The Exercise Notice will be completed by Participant and delivered to the Company. The Exercise Notice will be accompanied by payment of the aggregate Exercise Price as to all Exercised Shares together with any applicable tax withholding. This Option will be deemed to be exercised upon receipt by the Company of such fully executed Exercise Notice accompanied by such aggregate Exercise Price. 8. Method of Payment. Payment of the aggregate Exercise Price will be by any of the following, or a combination thereof, at the election of Participant: (a) cash; (b) check; (c) through a net exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; (d) consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan; or (e) surrender of other Shares which meet the conditions established by the Committee to avoid any adverse financial accounting consequences. 9. Tax Obligations. (a) Withholding of Taxes. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, no certificate representing the Shares will be issued to Participant, unless and until satisfactory arrangements (as determined by the Board or the Committee) will have been made by Participant with respect to the payment of income, employment and other taxes which the Company determines must be withheld with respect to such Shares. To the extent determined appropriate by the Board or the Committee in its discretion, it will have the right (but not the obligation) to satisfy any tax withholding obligations through the surrender of Shares which Participant already owns, or by reducing the number of Shares otherwise deliverable to Participant. If Participant fails to make satisfactory arrangements for the payment of any required tax withholding obligations hereunder at -4- the time of the Option exercise, Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver Shares if such withholding amounts are not delivered at the time of exercise. (b) Code Section 409A. Under Code Section 409A, an option that vests after December 31, 2004 that was granted with a per share exercise price that is determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") to be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date of grant (a "Discount Option") may be considered "deferred compensation." A Discount Option may result in (i) income recognition by Participant prior to the exercise of the option, (ii) an additional twenty percent (20%) federal income tax, and (iii) potential penalty and interest charges. The Discount Option may also result in additional state income, penalty and interest charges to the Participant. Participant acknowledges that the Company cannot and has not guaranteed that the IRS will agree that the per Share exercise price of this Option equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Date of Grant in a later examination. Participant agrees that if the IRS determines that the Option was granted with a per Share exercise price that was less than the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant, Participant will be solely responsible for Participant's costs related to such a determination. 10. Rights as Stockholder. Neither Participant nor any person claiming under or through Participant will have any of the rights or privileges of a stockholder of the Company in respect of any Shares deliverable hereunder unless and until certificates representing such Shares will have been issued, recorded on the records of the Company or its transfer agents or registrars, and delivered to Participant. After such issuance, recordation and delivery, Participant will have all the rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to voting such Shares and receipt of dividends and distributions on such Shares. 11. No Guarantee of Continued Employment or Service as a Director. PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE VESTING OF SHARES PURSUANT TO THE VESTING SCHEDULE HEREOF IS EARNED ONLY BY CONTINUING AS AN EMPLOYEE AND/OR DIRECTOR AT THE WILL OF THE COMPANY (OR THE RELATED ENTITY EMPLOYING PARTICIPANT) AND NOT THROUGH THE ACT OF BEING HIRED, BEING GRANTED THE OPTION OR ACQUIRING SHARES HEREUNDER. PARTICIPANT FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER AND THE VESTING SCHEDULE SET FORTH HEREIN DO NOT CONSTITUTE AN EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISE OF CONTINUED EMPLOYMENT FOR THE VESTING PERIOD, FOR ANY PERIOD, OR AT ALL, AND WILL NOT INTERFERE IN ANY WAY WITH PARTICIPANT'S RIGHT OR THE RIGHT OF THE COMPANY (OR THE RELATED ENTITY EMPLOYING PARTICIPANT) TO TERMINATE PARTICIPANT'S EMPLOYMENT AT ANY TIME, WITH OR WITHOUT CAUSE. 12. Address for Notices. Any notice to be given to the Company under the terms of this Agreement will be addressed to the Company in care of its Chief Human Resources Officer, at 4211 South 102nd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68127, or at such other address as the Company may hereafter designate in writing. -5- 13. Grant is Not Transferable. This Option may not be transferred in any manner otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised during the lifetime of Participant only by Participant. 14. Binding Agreement. Subject to the limitation on the transferability of this grant contained herein, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 15. Additional Conditions to Issuance of Stock. If at any time the Company will determine, in its discretion, that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of any governmental regulatory authority is necessary or desirable as a condition to the issuance of Shares to Participant (or his or her estate), such issuance will not occur unless and until such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval will have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. The Company will make all reasonable efforts to meet the requirements of any such state or federal law or securities exchange and to obtain any such consent or approval of any such governmental authority. Assuming such compliance, for income tax purposes the Exercised Shares will be considered transferred to Participant on the date the Option is exercised with respect to such Exercised Shares. 16. Plan Governs. This Agreement is subject to all terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan will govern. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the Plan. 17. Board or Committee Authority. The Board or the Committee will have the power to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith and to interpret or revoke any such rules (including, but not limited to, the determination of whether or not any Shares subject to the Option have vested). All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Board or the Committee in good faith will be final and binding upon Participant, the Company and all other interested persons. No member of the Board or the Committee will be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement. 18. Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to Options awarded under the Plan or future Options that may be awarded under the Plan by electronic means or request Participant's consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. Participant hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and agrees to participate in the Plan through any on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company. 19. Captions. Captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for interpretation or construction of this Agreement. 20. Agreement Severable. In the event that any provision in this Agreement will be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision will be severable from, and such invalidity or -6- unenforceability will not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement. 21. Modifications to the Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not accepting this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations, or inducements other than those contained herein. Modifications to this Agreement or the Plan can be made only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. 22. Amendment, Suspension or Termination of the Plan. By accepting this Award, Participant expressly warrants that he or she has received an Option under the Plan, and has received, read and understood a description of the Plan. Participant understands that the Plan is discretionary in nature and may be amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. 23. Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof. The Participant agree that any and all disputes arising out of the terms of this Agreement, their interpretation and any of the matters herein released, will be subject to binding arbitration in Jersey City, New Jersey before the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes, supplemented by the New Jersey Rules of Civil Procedure. The Company and the Participant agree that the prevailing party in any arbitration will be entitled to injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the arbitration award. THE COMPANY AND THE PARTICIPANT HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY. This paragraph will not prevent either party from seeking injunctive relief (or any other provisional remedy) from any court having jurisdiction over the Company and the Participant and the subject matter of their dispute relating to Participant's obligations under this Agreement. -7- EXHIBIT B TD AMERITRADE HOLDING CORPORATION 1996 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN EXERCISE NOTICE TD AMERITRADE Holding Corporation 4211 South 102nd Street Omaha, Nebraska 68127 Attention: Chief Human Resources Officer 1.
